Greg Glassman
The creator of this article has not identified this person, and the article looks like a standard vanity article. There is no Wikipedia article, and Google suggests that there is a musician by this name who is much better known. However, at least one Google reference is about this person: "Interview with Greg Glassman" from Girevik magazine, which may just be a promotional page for Glassman's "CrossFit" program. The Library of Congress has no record of a Girevik magazine, it seems to have had only 5 issues, and the website hosting it is apparently a different online newsletter (of which there are millions on the web these days) with an Alexa rating of 670K. All in all, we need better evidence that this person is notable. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. It should be noted that there is a Wikipedia article for CrossFit, also nominated for deletion. - InvisibleSun 06:49, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
